Glossary
BlueBridge Designer II - The Software program used to create a Design Template to load into a AtlasIED BlueBridge series DSP device.
Hardware Module (Block) - The virtual representation of hardware within the BlueBridge Designer interface.
Online Mode - The state when the design file is loaded into the designated hardware and ready for use. At this point the unit is “Live”
and all changes can be heard in real time.
Component Library - This navigation panel within BlueBridge Designer has 2 modes. In the Project Design mode it will show the
available System Components and Hardware Modules that can be used in the project. Once a DSP module has been placed in the
design and opened, the Component Library changes to show the available DSP Modules that can be placed within a BlueBridge Device.
Component Properties - This navigation panel within BlueBridge Designer allows the user to make changes to all of the elements in
the design. These elements can include Component Name, Position, Appearance, Number of Inputs/Outputs etc. This panel will also
track the Component Resource Usage of the DSP Device.
Design Template - A pre-configured design that can be used as template to create a new custom design. These files can save the
designer a lot of time. Go to www.AtlasIED.com in the product section to see additional designs if they are not listed in the software.
Note: Design Templates are not to be confused with the term APPs that are used in other DSPs. An APP is a fixed designed that cannot
be reconfigured.
Network View - This Button displays the “Network View” page showing all of the DSP hardware and control devices that have been
found on the Network.
Project View - The Icon for the DSP processing module that is used/placed inside the DSP Device (Hardware) Block. There are many
DSP modules to select from such as Meters, Delays , EQs, Filters, and Mixers to name a few.
Control Page - A window or several windows with control elements, ie: faders, buttons, meters, etc. used to create a custom user
interface experience.
Control Device - Hardware devices or BlueBridge Control software used to control system settings configured with control pages with
the BlueBridge Designer software.
Device Resource - Indicates the amount of DSP resources used for the selected DSP hardware or individual processing blocks. This can
be found in the Component Properties navigation pane. This can be viewed while Online or Offline for Hardware resources, and Offline
for the processing blocks. There is a resource button on the top of the window of an open hardware block when in Online Mode.
System Presets - Preset values for audio routes, volumes, EQ etc can be created and stored in the system design for recall when
needed i.e. Scenes.
Dante - Digital Audio Transport System designed by Audinate to transport uncompressed full bandwidth audio over standard gigabit
network hardware.
Digital Trim - Fine adjustment of input signal Post (after) the Analog Input stage.
Analog Trim - Fine Adjustment of the analog Mic/Line preamp (before) the A/D converter.
Auto Wire - The method used to wire Hardware and Processing Blocks without having to navigate a “point to point” wiring system.
Wires can be adjusted and labeled if desired after blocks are connected.
Wire Label - A way of identifying wiring for an audio system design. Can be done in the Component Properties when selecting a wire
that has been brought into a design.
